Smellgood package their shea butter in 5lbs and 10lbs blocks wrapped in plastic and shipped in a box. I've seen it in 35lbs shipped in a 5 gallon bucket as well. Nothing fancy; what matters most are the quality of the butter, the correct amount and your product intact. Hope this helps.

Not at all! this product can be mixed! I did with organic shea butter and warm it up until both substances melt. I warm up every time I used and it works amazingly!!

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

I would answer no to this. When it arrives, it's the consistency of Shea Butter in it's naturally prepped form for retail use. In my opinion, it is pure and I appreciate that factor. I always blend and whip with natural oils to my liking anyway. I hope my opinion is helpful to you Khrystal.

yah but it wasn't really dirty. In some of the other reviews I read (before I got mine) that there was sticks and other things in the Raw Unrefined Ivory Shea Butter that some of the other buyers got. So I was a little on guard when mine came from my seller:) But it was all good:) I did like the 'how to' video on my seller's wed site said and really just a little grit was all I saw. Since refining it, it smooth and creamy:) I just hate that it gets hard after whip it and it sits:I but the heat of my hands soften it right back up:) So I am very satisfied with it:)

Everybody use shea butter differently. I am natural and I mix my shea with BJCO & coconut oil and blend it and use it for hair & body.

The Shea Butter i received was definetly unfiltered and unrefined. I use it on my natural hair and to replace lotion on my skin. I will be purchasing again in the future.

Yes I received my delicious mango body butter in sealed plastic bag. Had a label on it. I loved its quality and would definetly will order again. I made lip balm n massage lotion bar. Nicest freshest butter I have ever ordered. I get compliments all the time about it. My skin tone has improved since using this suppliers product. My hands look younger.

I would say no, it wouldn't melt and seep outside the packaging. For one, it's pretty well packaged; mine shipped in a clear ziploc bag -&gt; which went inside the brown waxed paper bag (shown in the description pic) that has a ziploc sealing mechanism at the top, and that goes in a bubble wrap envelope. Also Shea butter itself won't melt into a runny enough consistency from the summer heat, or at least not this shea butter. I just spent a week camping in 100 degree weather with this shea butter in my backpack and it never once got that runny. At its most liquid state the consistency was similar to room temp butter: smooth and spreadable, but doesn't lose its form/shape, I wouldn't describe it as runny. Hope this helps!

That means the Shea butter you received is filthy and non filtered, unfortunately so many sellers who sell unacceptable quality product that we throw in the garbage and never dare to sell.you have the right to get the highest quality for you paid for.

Thanks for your interest in this item. Price will vary with availability, and are subject to change at all times. Shea Butter is more susceptible than most products to widely changing supply.

I have been buying this Shea butter for years. I can tell it is unrefined because it still has the debris. I love how soft it is and easy for me to whip. I only know what I see and feel and it has been the greatest for me. I do know from research that the ivory is the purest of the Shea butters.

It is important that you keep your shea butter in a cool area out of direct sunlight and dark of possible. The shelf life is about 12 to 24 months without adding preservatives. I hope this helps

Hi Mary! I'm not sure if anyone can give you the answer to that... First you need to receive a truly FRESH batch. Then you need to store it in something that is not a plastic bag (cardboard box would be better). It also needs to be in a cool, dry place (and living in Las Vegas that's an issue - it means inside this time of year, but luckily none of us is allergic to Timothy hay). Right now the 20 lbs. box we got from Small Pet Select is lasting a long, long time. And each time I open the BIG box to move some to the smaller 10 lbs. box (easier to handle), it's still smelling that lovely fresh Timothy hay smell. If you do decide on this one, just don't leave it in the plastic bag, and when ordering add a note that you're in desperate need of FRESH hay. Long winded, sorry. But I know how difficult it is to get the right stuff.

I put room about 3/4 shea and 1/4 coconut in a jar and use a wood stick (like the kind for making a shish kabob) to stir. When it is mostly mixed, I add a couple drops of essential oil (peppermint and/or lavender). Excellent!
